Capital gains property includes stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Currently, the stated rate on long term capital gains is 15%. If you have a net loss after netting all of your gains and losses, the tax deduction is limited to $3,000. Any excess capital losses can be carried into the future.

Mortgage Interest—Many taxpayers can deduct their mortgage interest on their residence. However, there is a limitation on this. The interest on a primary residence can only be deducted on up to $1,000,000 mortgage and $100,000 line of credit. Points paid to secure a mortgage when purchasing a new home are fully deductible. Points paid on a refinance must be amortized over the life of the loan.
